Pattern 3: Lonely Hearts

"Can someone make my simple wish come true?" line 1

This poem seems to be very fitting with its title. These are a series of want adds or advertisements. In each one, it is clear to see the persons dilemma in finding the type of person they're seeking. It is very hard for people in the gay community to find love for many reasons. They may be ridiculed or disrespected for the way they are. Also, the single mother may have trouble meeting people since she is always taking care of her child. Each one poses a rhetorical question that inspires a sense of hope. The first question says that these advertisements are "Personals." I find this to be very ironic because each one appears to be anonymous. If it were truly personal, it would reveal much more than a single line description.
